- The Motor effect
- A current in a magnetic field experiences a force
- When a current-carrying wire is put between magnetic poles, the magnetic field around the wire interacts with the magnetic field it has been placed in
- Causes the magnet ad the conductor to exert force on each other. - called the MOTOR EFFECT and can cause the wire to move.
- The force always acts at right angles to the magnetic field of the magnets and the direction of the current in the wire
- The strength of the force increases with the strength of the magnetic field.
- The force also increases with the amount of current passing through the conductor.
- The strength of the force increases with the strength of the magnetic field.
